Atul Gawande
“Death, of course, is not a failure. Death is normal. Death may be the enemy, but it is also the natural order of things.”
Atul Gawande, Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End

“Pick a leader who is strong and confident, yet humble. Intelligent, but not sly. A leader who encourages diversity, not racism. One who understands the needs of the farmer, the teacher, the welder, the doctor, and the environmentalist -- not only the banker, the oil tycoon, the weapons developer, or the insurance and pharmaceutical lobbyist.”
Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem
